How Do You Pick The Right Airsoft AEG Automatic Electric Gun?
Need help selecting the right airsoft gun for your purposes? Here’s an article for beginners on the terminology and what to look for. Selecting an airsoft AEG (automatic electric gun) gun requires a basic understanding of your needs combined with the rules of the games and airsoft fields where you play. It’s way more than just budget, because the right gun can make a huge difference in how much fun you have actually playing. Find out the FPS (feet per second) velocity limits of your field or game. Most FPS measurements are done using .20g plastic BBs, and most fields use limits of around 350fps for indoor/CQB games (close range) and 420fps for outdoor/woodland games (long range). It doesn’t make sense to buy a gun that you can’t use on the field because it shoots the BBs out with too high a velocity. Figure out your MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) or playing style. If you like to play forward positions and rush in, guns blazing, you will most likely want a high ROF (rate of fire)
